You don't get fined by the FCC for saying the words Trump or ICE. That's for breaking rules on profanity and nudity etc. It's not about owing it's about putting your money where your mouth is if you claim to be punk Yes but the difference is he actually did it and didn't do a heavily censored version of it. Saying "God bless America" and then naming the Latin American countries is a significant statement. I am glad they played those songs but I feel them being censored the way they were removed their impact

a billion billie joe bucks

I was nervous for their safety too! And Bad Bunny had to wear a bullet proof vest. ☹️ We live in troubled times. These things usually are just a medley. (They did something in 2020 for the Super Bowl that had a similar format.) For the short amount of time, I thought Green Day picked great songs that still made a statement. It was neat that they flipped the usual order and started with Good Riddance. The string instruments playing as the MVPs walked past—beautiful! Billie Joe said some great things at the Pier 29 concert 2 days before (can be found on social media). I don’t usually pay attention to football or SuperbOwls, but I was really excited for this one. I was thrilled that GREEN DAY played at the Super Bowl (!!) and they were awesome! I loved the Bad Bunny halftime show! And lastly, my Seahawks won!! 💙💚 There was good energy all around. 💚💚💚

They will definitely be a LOT Haha

I’m gonna guess probably 4500…

100% think this logo will be used for any shows they announce or 2 very specific releases that they could do rn during the break, if they do even decide to announce those 2 very specific things

I will definitely check it out! I've always liked what Bad Bunny stands for and how outspoken he is so I'm happy to finally take some time out to listen to his music. Some of the songs he performed took me right back to my friend's birthday parties when we were young 😂 I just wish my mom could've seen it. She loved Latin music and would've lost her mind at seeing Ricky Martin!

Just watched Megyn Kelly melting down about 'Bad Bunny and his little buddies over at Green Day' 😂 So don't worry, they still made their mark.

I agree with you . Since they said they are slowing down a bit for a while I'm not expecting anything big at the moment.

Those are cool! I may buy one . How much are they? I'm too lazy to look right now, haha .

I love those

I have to confess I've not kept up with the thread but I just wanted to say how excited I was to hear Billie scream "Welcome to the Bay! NFL 60!" I'm not from there but how cool is that for him and the guys coming from playing shitty venues feeling like there was possibly no hope to opening the Super Bowl on home soil. Absolutely amazing. I was so proud that was my band (figuratively of course )

I bet Green Day still has ambitions of playing the half time show at some point even if it is unlikely. If that is the case they have to respect the wishes of the organisers at an event like this. You play by their rules or you don't get the opportunity again.

We were talking about the glasses and he delivered 🥰

When I Come Around should be at a billion already that song was the biggest off of dookie chart wise and crossover wise. I assume 21 Guns and Brainstew will be next after When I Come Around.

Makes me think about how Billie used to play football and originally wanted to do that. Imagine a world where he was in the Superbowl and some dude from the NFL was the frontman of Green Day. Haha I like Green Day so much that I almost want to watch football now. Almost.

Good Riddance will hit 1 Billion streams on Valentines Day or so. When I Come Around will be the next one to hit 1 Billion, but we won't see that happen for many moons. Here we are. In a world where Basketcase, American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends and Good Riddance are the song that define Green Day, at least to the world at large. How does that make you feel?

People complaining are asinine! Fines would be in the millions…people forget the Janet Jackson thing that started all of that. She was not helped by that at all. Also the Super Bowl doesn’t have to be about politics and statements people and families of all ages and backgrounds watch it’s one of the few things that bring people together….if they went off and just protested off script their mics would be shut down, and it would be cut. Also it’s not the time and place to make it about you. It’s fair to say playing the songs they played was good enough…of course he was bleeped he said fuck I wonder if that might get him a fine. You guys sound like Gilman street in the 90’s these guys are not JUST a political band…cant they also have fun and enjoy the moment?!?! They don’t owe us anything. They picked meaningful songs, sounded great, got a bunch of press and good reviews….like what do you want them to do?!?! Get I. Trouble and face serious fines just to make you happy?!?! Let them be they don’t owe us anything and it’s the Super Bowl. Relax. They kicked ass!

They posted a montage on Instagram! 😭 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUjSEdhjxBZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

YES!!! So cool!😍

I feel like this shouldn't be your expectations on what punk rock is. As i mentioned before punk stemmed from suppression of all kinds. And just because green day are a bunch of sheltered rich guys their message should've been sent out to you in many ways. Being censored playing a song obviously about censorship, the setlist, although feeling like "sellouts". Even the contract itself speaks for itself if you look at it a different way. The fact that they were even out there was punk rock. You've heard Holiday and American Idiot so much you're basically conditioned to think they say nothing when the most political parts are removed for some other reason. No. The songs that way are still political enough, they're still saying something, and that needs to be acknowledged. It doesn't even sound like a big deal that Billie said "Mind-fuck America", but that was probably the limit to what they could say. Being punk is to speak, not to be able.

These have been on my mind a lot 🥰

But see, that’s the point I’m trying to make. He does that all the time. And sometimes he does more. Maybe it just seems more impactful to you because you are not familiar with his music and performance antics, but for someone not familiar with Green Day, what Green Day did was just as cool. I was telling my colleagues today that Green Day significantly tone down their message to appease the NFL, I told them about how they didn’t do the “MAGA agenda” lyric change, that they didn’t do the lyric at all, and how that was dissapointing, and they were like “yeah yeah whatever THEY WERE SO COOL FOR SINGING SAYING MINDFUCK AMERICA THE NFL HAD TO CENSOR THEM!!!” I mean …

From greendayitalianrageandlove on IG: the GD family at the Super Bowl

One of my friends is a Bad Bunny fan and encouraged me to listen to the Debi Tirar Mas Fotos album ahead of the Super Bowl ensuring me that it wouldn't be only reggeaton (I've danced to the stuff as much as any other Venezuelan, but I don't get the concept of listening to it as I'd listen to other styles of music), and I can tell you, the opening song (NuevaYol, one of the Super Bowl ones) is great, there are other "good ones" sprinkled in there that also incorporate salsa and other Caribbean rhythms, but then from Turista and until the end of the album the tone changes a lot, the lyrics move away from standard reggaeton lyrics, towards these lyrics about Puerto Rico and Boriqua culture (which I'd say also extends to all the countries around the Caribbean sea as we all have similar sounds, culture, flavors, etc.), and that diaspora yearning for the land and community left behind, and the music heavily incorporates a lot of salsa and Caribbean sounds. It's really good. I recommend you to give that full album a try if you liked some of the songs from the half time show (most of the songs from NuevaYol onward were from that album, as far as I could recall). Also, regarding the performance itself: the kid sleeping in the chairs during the wedding party. I've never felt my childhood experiences so seen and validated The whole mise en scene was really great, it felt like the Caribbean. And I did tear up a bit at the end with the "god bless America" with all the countries and then going into the chorus of Debi Tirar Mas Fotos 🥹 Going back to Green Day: I actually really enjoyed this performed live 😅 Thanks for sharing it! I had never seen it,
